just need help with my ecu as the fuel pump wont prime or turn on, i've put a rb20 silvertop in my passage and at some time along the way i fry'd a (diode, resistor or cap not 100% sure) on the curcut board just before it leads to pin 18 at the plug, Now the ecu wont turn the fuel pump on, just need to find out what type and size it is so i can get my fuel pump to prime again and not run constant

any way here's a few pic's

you can see were i've takin the part out on the board part R313

it look's the same as the blue components labeled a

the lil bugger that don't work no more

any help would be great i'm mainly after the size of it

its a resistor fo shiz. is there not any writing on the device? or has it all been fried beyond recognition?

thought so but does'nt hert to ask, it's been fried beyond recognition, the size is the main thing i'm after

your best bet might be to wait until someone can give you a definite answer, but i dont think many people will be willing to take their ecu apart. honestly id take a bit of a stab at it. if all the other similar-looking resistors all have the same resistance value, i'd go ahead and chuck one in.

i dont know much about resistor wattage interchangeability, but in theory, one could place a higher wattage resistor in the circuit without causing an issue... hopefully :ermm:

thats what i'm hoping for, its only 4 srcew's and if someone has one out of a car it should be no big issue to just have a look.

there all different resistance but i think it is i higher on around the 400-500 ohm's my guess is, it's a 2w resistor but i can only get 5w which should be no problem as the only diff is that it can take more heat and current, i've poped down to jaycar and got a few diff size's all ready, just hoping i can that actual resistance before i wack one in there.

cheers dude pm sent and yer its a 32 engine

I am guessing that the original R31 ECU fuel pump wire was directly connected to the R32 pin 18 which caused it to blow? If so I gather you have now added a relay and have wired pin 18 to the switch the relay on/off. If you haven't you will need to add a relay.

i've got a 040 pump so i all ready had a relay, i ither put the battery on backwards or crossed the wire's the wrong way out the relay caused it to blow. I now have to find that resistor size to replace it

sorry for the late update but big thanks to BOOZTJUNKEY for giving me the size of the resistor (5.1 ohms) as it done the trick with my ecu and now works properly again :cheers:

here's a pic of the final job

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
